Calculate the standard deviation (S.D.) of log qit, for each year in the period 2011-2016, across all countries and across the subset of countries that adopted the Euro, respectively. Did you observe any difference? Why? For these calculations, you will generate a dummy variable equal to one if the country belongs to the Euro zone, and equal to zero if it does not. To generate summary statistics, such as the S.D., you can use the command “sum” combined with the options “by” (by year), and “if” (whether the country belongs to the Euro zone or not).

Price levels are linked to the level of development of countries. Plot the real exchange rate constructed in d) against real GDP per capita (relative to the United States), for the year 2014. First, calculate real GDP per capita relative to US’s as “rgdpl” divide by “rgdpl_us” using the command “gen”. Then, use the graph command “scatter”.
